Video After The Jump
Ghostface Killah has responded to Martin Shkreli's disses and threat to slap him in the face while a guest on The Breakfast Club, and for raising the price of Daraprim, an anti-parasitic drug used by AIDS patients and pregnant women from $13.50 a pill to $750 per pill overnight when he was the CEO of Turing Pharmaceuticals.
In a new video the legendary emcee goes in on Shkreli, the man who bought Wu Tang Clan's "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin" album for $2 million.
"I don't even know how it came to this. It's Ghost vs. Peter Pan in 2016," Ghost says in the clip. "Walking around with fake goons like he's tough and he ain't got a real bone in his body. I'm just letting everybody know he's a fraud. Then on top of that you gon' come at me when you bought a Wu Tang album for $2 million, acting like we washed up rappers? I'm a washed up rapper, but you done bought a washed up rapper album for $2 million. Who washed up now? I don't care how much money you got 'cause money don't make you a man, bruh. Don't come at me with that little punk ass shit.
This the dude that raised the pill from $13 a pill to like $750," Ghost continued. He raised it by 5,000 percent. People can't pay that much. How they gon' live, man? You're a real killer, man. But you a soft killer. Something's wrong with you. You don't do that to the people."
This feud started in January when TMZ asked Ghost what he thought of the pharmaceutical executive buying Wu Tang's one of a kind album. The rapper replied that Shkreli was a "shithead" for raising the price of Daraprim.
Shkreli responded by saying Ghostface was past his prime as a rapper.
Ghost mad that Shaolin outsold his last 5 albums… dude’s a non-profit rapper. Calls himself ironman, but sounds rusty AF @GhostfaceKillah

That was followed by another TMZ interview with Tony Starks.
"This the man I'm beefing with? The Michael Jackson nose kid?" Ghost asked while showing a photo of Shkreli on his phone. "Come on bruh, you don't even wanna do it. I'll break your heart in four days."
Shkreli's response to that was a video in which he demanded a written apology from the Wu Tang Clan rapper or he would erase his vocals from "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin."
As mentioned in my video, I expect a written apology, @GhostfaceKillah. At least 500 words, no grammatical errors and Shaolin stays intact.

Shkreli later appeared on The Breakfast Club and said he would smack Ghost in the face if he saw him.
There you have it.
**UPDATE**
Martin Shkreli promptly took to Twitter to offer a response to Ghostface Killah's video that was released today
"Never seen someone real cry to his momma to handle his biz. Soft-serve ice cream rappers should shut they mouth before they get told again," he wrote.
The format of your apology was unacceptable, @GhostfaceKillah. The consequences will never be the same. (Also, stop making medical claims.)

Ghost was a guest today on the Fox Business Network show "Mornings with Maria." Host Maria Bartiromo asked him why Shkreli's purchase of "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin" was a problem for him.
"It wasn't really a problem for me. The problem I had with him when I was being interviewed was that he has no respect for life," he responded. "He raised the price [of Daraprim] from $13.50 to $750 a pill for these AIDS victims. How could you do something like that? I know people that passed away from AIDS. And I know how hard it is when they don't have no health care. You got people that need this medicine every day. How are you gonna pay $750? They can't make it, so basically you're just killing them. You're killing these babies and it's a shame."
